In chrome I set my default search engine to "Googol" with the search query: http://google.com/search?q=%s. Seemed to fix it for me

You can now use HTTPS on the www subdomain. Try https://www.google.com/search?q=%s as the URL to use. I consistently get this turned into https://www.google.com/search?q=foo&qscrl=1 which makes it easy enough to cut out the qscrl parameter for linking purposes.

For results you click on? Those will be handled independently from the /search?q= URL.

obviously Google's servers will see your request and the results in plain text, or do you expect them to be encrypted even there?

I assumed you were talking about Google tracking you or something. what did you mean with "tracking" then?

but then you have to tell everyone who visits your site to do this...
